The Fresno Field Archers was reorganized from the Fresno Target Archery Club around 1956. The Fresno Safari is one of the nation's longest running outdoor archery tournaments and has attracted some of the world's top shooters. Along with Safari the club also hosts the Gene Foster Traditional Rendezvous. The Rendezvous draws traditional archers, bow makers, arrow makers, flint knappers and leather workers from around the state to try their hand at unmarked yardage 3-D targets, pop-ups, balloon shoots and speed rounds.

Established in 1958, the Madera Field Archers strive to provide archers across the San Joaguin Valley with an archery club to foster communication of information and share ideas as well as offer access to a full functioning outdoor range in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills.

The sport of archery has persons from every walk of life. It is very dynamic and fascinating. From the dedicated hunter to the Olympic target shooter; from young boys and girls earning merit badges or trying to be like 'dad' to retirees finally finding time to pick up where they left off a few years back.
